SkinomiTechSkin [2-Pack] (Case Compatible) Clear Screen Protector for Google Pixel 2 Anti-Bubble HD TPU Film

Overall: I love this product. The look and feel of it are to the point where I'm sure in a few days I won't be consciously aware it's there (I only am now because it's new and so I'm thinking about it); and I love the wet install as it is very forgiving and gives you the chance to remove any dust particles if they get under the protector during the install.I haven't used a protector in 5 or 6 years because the scratch resistance of the stock screens has been enough for me. But somehow I managed to scratch my pixel 2 within a week of having it (could just be bad luck or gorilla glass 5 could be less scratch resistant than previous generations, I don't know), so went with skinomi because I've used their products in the past and love the wet install.Fit: The fit is perfect to the point that you can't even tell it's there unless you are looking for it. And it sits far enough from the edge that I know it won't interfere with nor get push around by a case. The reviewers that complained that it doesn't cover the entire screen should have known that the gap around the edge would be there given that this is "case friendly" (and in my experience from shopping around for glass protectors, it seems to be well known that "case friendly" means there will be a gap around the edge). Plus, since we do have bezels on all sides of the screen, it's not as though there is actually screen behind the very small exposed edgesFeel: Changing the feel of the screen was my biggest concern, but now that the protector is on I can say that there is no negative aspect to this. If you're really thinking about the feel, you can tell that it's not naked glass; but when you're not thinking about it, it's similar enough that it doesn't change the experience of using the phone at all. I definitely don't feel that it's tacky or sticky or gummy or anything along those lines -- I've had no issues swiping on this protector (and of course taps or virtually the same) -- I supposed humidity or finger oils/dirt may make a difference here, but I have not experienced that.Fingerprints/smudging: In my experience this is no better or worse than a naked screen. Since there is already coating on the stock screen, it would be hard to be more resistant, so that this protector is "no better" is not a con in my mind.Protection: Unlike a liquid protector that I also tried, I *know* this is providing scratch protection because I know that something would have to go through the protector to get to the screen. I've used skinomi in the past so I know that the self healing thing does work if you get indentations.Not being glass: I believe in reviewing a product on what it actually claims to be rather than what a consumer mistakenly thinks/wants a product to be. So with that said, I don't find any of the reviews saying to get glass protector instead to be helpful. This isn't a glass protector, you shouldn't expect it to be, and it doesn't make sense to me to down-rate it based on it not being glass. A glass protector would theoretically add some protection for hits to the screen since it would disperse the force across the surface of the glass protector rather than the screen - but I personally haven't ever needed this type of protection as I've never accidentally stabbed or hammered my phone screen. I don't think the physics really check out for saying glass protectors add drop protection unless perhaps your phone falls flat on its face (if a corer hits, a glass protector would probably crack since it protrudes above the screen, but I don't think it would take much force away from the force going into the corner of the phone which is what would crack the actual screen, of course I don't have scientific data to back this up). So for me, I prefer a film protector because I can do a wet install, I know there won't be the halo effect (can happen when the edges don't stick on the full glue type) or the rainbow effect (can happen on the type that are only glued around the bezels and not where the screen is), and I know it won't crack or chip like a glass protector.Install: -- Here's where I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the negative reviews -- I'm not sure what some of these people are doing, other than not following the instructions, obviously. This product is a wet install, that's stated clearly in the "Revolutionary Installation Process" section, so it shouldn't be a surprise nor should someone down-rate based on that (if you didn't want a wet install, then why did you buy the product?).-- I've done a dry install film before and sure it may be faster but you have to be way more meticulous about lining it up the first time and you're out of luck if you get any dust in there. The wet install may take longer, but as long as you follow the instructions it's super easy.-- My favorite part: After initially getting the protector in place (but before you let it sit overnight, since you wouldn't want to try to remove it once it's cured to the screen), you have the opportunity to gently lift back any section and use the application liquid to gently remove any dust particles if you happened to get any under the protector (I personally have always gotten at least one spec of dust in each of my installs, but again it's super easy to get out).--Getting the extra liquid into holes on the phone (i.e. speaker cutouts, sim tray, buttons, etc) used to be a bigger concern for me when I used to install these on all my phones years ago, but knowing that the Pixel 2 is water resistant, I wasn't concerned at all. If you're extra paranoid, it's not that difficult to only push the liquid to the edges and avoid the speakers.--I had only 3 bubbles after leaving the phone overnight (roughly 6-7 hours) and they were pretty small. I'm sure they would have gone away if I waited a full 24-48 hours, but it was easy enough to push them out the sides (using the same microfiber cloth wrapper around a card method that you use during the install).-- I'm not sure why others have complained that there is no card/squeegee included - if you bought this product on Amazon then surely you have a credit/debit card.-- The instructions clearly say to spray the outside face of the protector and to wrap a card with the microfiber cloth - so scratching the protector during install is not a concern.-- I had absolutely no issue with stretching during the install, I'm not sure how hard others were squeegeeing, but clearly way harder than they needed to (you only need to push the liquid out, it takes almost no force to push water). And it seems to common sense to remove it from the film it ships on carefully-- So long as you follow the instructions to put the liquid on your fingers before taking the protector off of the film it ships on, there is no issue with getting fingerprints on the back/sticky side of the protector.

Install process is a little lengthy but gives very good results with little to no contamination or bubbles. I did the installation in the bathroom after turning on the shower to steam it up a little, then let the steam clear and bring down any dust.I had good results on my first try, though they provide two films and also cover installation errors with their warranty just in case. The film stretches a bit, allowing you to align the cut-outs properly with the features on the phone, but it was a little challenging to squeegee down the film without stretching it further. I found that many short strokes in multiple directions worked better than long strokes.After curing, the protector retains a somewhat gummy feel, and one corner started peeling slightly a few days after installation. The film gets imprinted by my pocket material and fingernails, though it seems to self-heal in a few minutes. So far I haven't noticed any permanent scratches.It fits well with my Spigen Rugged Armor case.

I've been using this screen protector for about 9 months now and absolutely recommend it.---Fit---The product fits the Pixel 2's screen with the cutouts in the right shape and location. The cutouts are slightly oversized so you do have some wiggle room when installing. This is the case-friendly version, so it doesn't go all the way to the edges.---Case Friendly---I use the Skinomi with a Spiegen Neo Hybrid case with no issues. From the edge of the case to the start of the screen protector, there is approximately a 1mm boarder. The screen protector has not had any problems with the case being removed and reinstalled for periodic cleaning.---Appearance---The screen protector is very clear and I don't notice it unless I am trying to notice it. Obviously you can see the edges, but that's going to be true with any screen protector.---Touch & Feel---There is a very slight difference in feel compared to the glass. It was a bit strange at first but I quickly got used to it and now don't notice it at all. I think it feels better than the plastic cling ones.I have not noticed any lack of responsiveness from the touch sensitivity of the screen. However, it should be noted that I only used the phone for maybe a week before getting the screen protector.---Durability---Skinomi claims the product is self-healing and I have found this to be true. I've managed to get a few scuffs or imprints into the screen protector, and it always rebounded back. I have also not had any issues with yellowing or stretching or any sort of damage. / wear-and-tear.---Value---I paid $7.85 and this is a two-pack. That's a good price to begin with but given how well it has worked, I not only have a great screen protector, I have a back-up just in case something does happen. Considering the cost of some other screen protectors, it's really a win-win. Even if you buy it and end up not liking it, you're only out less than $8.00.Lastly, installation.Installation isn't difficult, but it is different. If you read/watch the instructions, and follow them, it's no problem.If you don't follow them, well you're going to have a miserable time.A few notes on the install:-It is a wet install. That's no concern for the Pixel 2 as long as you don't go pouring the whole thing on it. Even then, probably no issue. This does have the benefit of allowing you some room for error as you can reposition the protector before the adhesive fully dries.-You need to be able to leave your phone alone for several hours. If you are one of those people who is constantly glued to their phone, even at home, you may not be able to deal with this. I installed mine on a lazy weekend and everything was ready to go for the work week.-There may be some initial bubbles. Don't panic. They disappear on their own. I have some tiny ones that took a few days, but they went away. Just don't panic and be patient. It's worth it.-You need to use the installation fluid to keep things going smoothly. If you don't use it on the outside, you can stretch and damage the protector.-Watch. The. Instructions. The video is very easy to follow. It's easy, but you need to read them and follow them.-Seriously. Those instructions. Pay attention to them.

Vraiment bien, malgré les mini bulles apparentes lors de la pose, ces dernières ont totalement disparues en 24h. Je recommande c'est un super produit.

Eine wirklich gute Folie, die insbesondere auch auf den Rundungen des Google Pixel 2 XL haftet. Die Installation ist keineswegs einfach, aber wenn man sich genau an die Installationsanleitung samt Video hält, gelingt das Aufbringen mit etwas Geschick und vor allem Geduld. Es empfiehlt sich in jedem Fall einen Föhn bereitzuhalten, um den Haftprozess auf den Rundungen deutlich zu beschleunigen und zu vereinfachen. Es empfiehlt sich die Installation dann vorzunehmen, wenn man das Gerät mindestens fünf, besser acht Stunden nicht benötigt, damit eine ausreichende Trocknungs- und Haftzeit eingehalten wird. Die Bläschen verschwinden tatsächlich nach einigen Tagen.

Absolutely astounded by this. Have wasted so much time and money trying to get a case friendly screen protector for my Pixel 2 - they would either start lifting up at the sides due to my case, or cause problems by stopping the proximity sensor working or there would be a massive gap and bubbles at each side where screen slightly curves. I then came across this and took a chance - at first a bit apprehensive as you have to wet the protector before applying it. However installation was easier than I thought and even though you wet the protector it doesn't actually get the phone that wet - less solution is more and don't forget the pixel 2 is water resistant anyway. When wet apply it and line the protector up, gently smooth over any large bubbles or streaks and leave to cure for several hours overnight. The next day there were still some pockets, streaks and bubbles under the screen however after 3 days the screen protector is flawless and looks amazing. This isn't a tempered glass protector but is instead feels like a thin layer of self healing gel like substance, it has a very smooth surface feel and doesn't affect screen usage at all, compared to a tempered glass protector I believe this would possibly provide slightly less protection but it's compatibility, aesthetics and the facts this will still give a good level of protection - particularly resilient to scratches I am very happy. I cannot rate this product enough and would give 6 out of 5 if I could.

Opted for skinomi after reading positive reviews and since spigen has not yet come out with screen protector for google pixel 2 which I s surprising considering google pixel 2 is the flagship android phone of google Being a plastic film protector was initially apprehensive . Installation was smooth thanks to skinomi you tube video . Bubbles if any disappear within 24 hours of the installation but the installation technique is very different from tempered screen glass . Skinomi techskin is a military grade plastic and surprisingly small scratches seem to disappear from the film within few hours , this plastic screen protector is extremely malleable unlike tempered glass which is brittle.Besides the screen protector is case friendly and compatible with spigen tough armour case which I have used for my google pixel 2 . The feel of screen is also smooth,Delivery was delayed by a couple of days due to Christmas in USA but the seller IBHEJO was responsive giving periodic updates on the order statusOverall happy with the product . All in all a good value proposition.

At first I was skeptical, but now it's literally the only screen protector my friends and I use now.Super easy to install and offers great protection. Lets be honest, if I drop my phone the screen protector isn't going to protect the fall. It will protect again scratches and marks - which is does fantastically. AND IT LOOKS GREAT.Install is as simple as dampening the screen (don't worry only slightly, so it's safe), then sliding on the film and moving it into the perfect position. You let it dry and it like 10-20 minutes that's it. No pulling it off cause it's slightly eschew or anything like that. Bubble either dry out or you simple rub off the edge.You get 2 in an box and that will last you more than a year easy.
